We’d like to remind you that it's important to stay up to date with the latest health and well-being policies and protocols for your voyage, in addition to the latest travel requirements. It is your responsibility to organise and complete all documentation and testing requirements if required, therefore please ensure you are aware of, and compliant with, the latest guidance for travelling to and/or from your port of embarkation and return home. The guidance may change with little warning.

It is our intention that the majority of voyages in the future will not require guests to be vaccinated or undertake pre-cruise testing. However, some voyages, including those with longer or more complex itineraries, and all voyages to Australia and Japan have enhanced vaccination and testing requirements.
